On behalf of Inclusion Canada (formerly the Canadian Association for Community Living), the New Brunswick Association for Community Living is issuing a call for nominations for the National Inclusive Education Awards.
The awards are presented to an individual or team who has made a positive and significant contribution to inclusive education within the early learning, K-12, and post-secondary systems in their province or territory. The award presentations are part of the activities planned for National Inclusive Education Month, which will be held in April 2021.
Inclusive education is about how we develop and design our learning environments – schools, classrooms, programs and activities – so that all students learn and participate together. It is based on the firm belief, and on real experience, that all students have value and can learn in regular classrooms alongside students their own age. Inclusion also means that our schools help develop positive relationships and mutual respect between all students.
The National Inclusive Education Award recipients are selected by Associations for Community Living in each province or territory. The NB Association for Community Living awards committee will select winners (Francophone and Anglophone) from the province of New Brunswick.
If you would like to nominate someone, please fill out the form and return it by email (nbacl@nbnet.nb.ca), mail (800 Hanwell Road, Fredericton, NB E3B 2R7 Attn: National Inclusive Education Week) or fax (506-453-4422).
